On "Fox News Sunday," Pelosi told host Chris Wallace that it
was "almost a false argument to say we have a spending
problem. We have a budget deficit problem that we have to
address."

Her comments came in anticipation of the across-the-board
cuts scheduled to kick in March 1 as a result of the sequester.
Pelosi advocated a deal that would combine mix of spending cuts
and revenue increases to close the nation's budget deficit,
saying cuts to education and other targeted domestic programs of
the sequester wouldn't spur growth.

Scarborough said that the only possible reason Pelosi made these
comments is that the Democratic Party has "convinced itself" that
it does not have a spending problem. He compared it to the
"radical wing" of the Republican Party convincing itself of "all
the things that lost them the election" last November.

"Democrats are about to step into a real mess if they're
not careful," Scarborough said. "I've been saying the past four
years saying the Republican Party is out of touch, and they're
going to lose the presidential election because of it.

"And I was right, Republicans! Now, let me say to
Democrats: You're out of touch. You've got a spending
problem."
